i thought mitt had great brown worked in massachusetts that got kicked in the paper shredder and let in red tape. if it had gone through, we would have seen massachusetts shine like a universe. in the next two debates, we will see who will shine through. personally, i think mitt romney will be our best option. obama did not mention anything about china. he skirted a lot of the questions. he was never direct to the point and he was always trying to attack commit. mitt was very confident in his actions. he seemed to outline everything. when he was an attack on no details to his plan and this that and the other, i think he said, number one, i did this. no. 2, we're doing that. number three, we're doing that. i think we will have very good debate sessions coming up in the near future. >> thank you. next up, kate, independent, california. are you there? >> yes, i'm here. >> you are on the air. go ahead with your comment. >> i was really disappointed by the debate. while president obama had substantive points, he was a little meandering. i honestly expected better of him as a public speake

endorsing justice marshall -- well, eventually justice marshall but attorney thurgood marshall's victory in brown vs. board of education. the democratic platform did not. it was eisenhower and nixon who got through the 1957 and 1960 civil rights act over the ferocious maneuvering of lyndon b. johnson. but at that point, with thurgood marshall's victories in the supreme court and the republicans pushing through civil rights with dwight eisenhower sending federal troops to enforce marshall's victories down in little rock, with bill clinton's friend, orvil favis in the schoolhouse door, the democrats out of political calculation had to pretend to care about civil rights. the first civil rights legislation ever pushed by a democrat was in 1964 act yet and still far more republicans voted for it in the house and the senate. in both houses it was about 80% republican, 60% democrat. the republicans who opposed it opposed it for constitutional grounds. they had voted for every other civil rights bill. not so the democrats and they were not conservative democrats. they were liberal democrats. j. william f

it looks to me that it is brown's uniquely tailored for justice kennedy. judge reinhardt ended up holding it. he basically says, look, we will leave an address whether this test is rational scrutiny as a matter of its cell. but when you already have a state where the law says you eliminate that right for a specific class of people for people who want to engage in same-sex marriage, then it gets a high and rational basis that we saw in rumor vs. evans. in that there seems to be no reason for that except rhode animus against the class of people that you are removing from this marriage thing. so it makes a difference in their mind that it is removing it from a right that was already there could set aside the fact that the right was there after the california court found it, after this whole history of citizens having passed a friend up trying to block it and the courts continue funneling -- courts continue refining it again. if you have the right and you take away, that is now an equal protection violation. so it has been criticized as a 1-way rajoy. if you h
